Cleaning isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it is a chore that can support a happier and healthier lifestyle. To help you find some joy in this responsibility, we’re sharing our favorite ways to create and stick to a maintenance log.
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to creating a maintenance log for your apartment. Instead, focus on the basics. We suggest making one log that covers all rooms in your apartment, breaking things down by shared chores. For example, your log can include vacuuming, dusting, cleaning windows/mirrors, laundry, and other overarching tasks.
We also suggest organizing your chore chart by weekday, saving Friday and your weekends for rest and relaxation. Here’s an example chart:
- Monday: Dust and empty the dishwasher
- Tuesday: Vacuum
- Wednesday: Organize shared spaces (put things back where they belong) and take out the trash
- Thursday: Laundry day
This will help you create a routine that’s habit, which can minimize stress around certain tasks and prioritize your personal time. If you live with roommates, this section can also include roommate names; remember to cycle through responsibilities every few weeks to share the work.
There’s no need to suffer when it comes to cleaning your apartment! We hope these tips make your life a little easier. For more hacks, check out our blog. The Quarters is a luxury apartment complex located in Lady Lake, FL.
